I don't see the connection of your speculation to the paragraph I was
referencing... the "making fun of a head of a foreign state". You say, "In
other cases, however, I just can't understand it." With "It" being the
opposition, right? Let me be clear, I am saying you may be unable to have
realized a rational explanation because of your emotinal involvement in the
argument.

I don't see your point in bringing the "And my guess..." into it. What does
that have to do with it?

That's true. We form opinions of people and are baised by those opinions no
doubt. I don't think that's a new revelation really.
